- orf 8y agoSorry to see you haven't got it back yet. What did the IG support say to you? Have you contacted them?
- paulrosenzweig 8y agoI contacted Instagram support within a few hours of the hack, but I have yet to hear back. I've bumped the thread a few times, but still silence.
- orf 8y agoGlad to see it's been resolved now!
- throwaway080383 8y agoHow do we know it's you and not the T-Mobile employee?
- paulrosenzweig 8y agoHaha fair enough. If you do know someone at Instagram, please just tell them to search for me in their support inbox. I've included identity verification in my email. They could also just reach out to the email I had in my account before the hack occurred.
- segmondy 8y agoSorry to hear that, how did they know your phone number?
- paulrosenzweig 8y agoGreat question! My phone number isn't particularly private, but I'm not sure how exactly they found it. I have a guess, but it's pretty elaborate, so they may have found a simpler route.
- hrrsn 8y agoFrom someone else with a three letter IG handle, I'm so sorry to hear about that. I'm perpetually paranoid about losing it.
